Chapter 6, Problem 34A
The auto in the sketch moves forward as the brakes are applied. A bystander says that during the interval of braking, the auto’s velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions. Do you agree or disagree?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: Whether a person agree or disagree with the fact that auto’s velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity. Negative acceleration is called retardation.
Velocity is rate of change of displacement with respect to time. When breaks are applied auto velocity goes on decreasing that is acceleration of auto is negative. Auto is decelerating. So autos velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, a person will agree that auto’s velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

A. First, if the rod was not there, what statement best describes the charge distribution of the ball? 1) Since it is a conductor, all the charges are on the outside of the ball. 2) The ball is neutral, so it has no positive or negative charges anywhere. 3) The positive and negative charges are separated from each other, but we don't know what direction the ball is polarized. 4) The positive and negative charges are evenly distributed everywhere in the ball. B. Now, when the rod is moved close to the ball, what happens to the charges on the ball? 1) There is a separation of charges in the ball; the side closer to the rod becomes positively charged, and the opposite side becomes negatively charged. 2) Negative charge is drawn from the ground (via the string), so the ball acquires a net negative charge. 3)…arrow_forwardanswer question 5-9arrow_forward
